My goals are to help bridge gaps between biology and engineering. To do so, my group’s research focus has two major directions:
1) investigating disease mechanisms using novel approaches such as single cell transcriptomics and gene editing;
2) development of new technologies and tools to address experimental challenges in life science research.
